What is it in your artistic engagement with your main theme of "light and shadow" that fascinates you?

Above anything else it is the diversity, the incessant change and the ambivalence. The same scenery is subject to an infinite variety of influences. Even when it isn't changing in itself, a landscape for example will look entirely different depending on the season, the time of day, weather or clouds. In a closed space even minimal changes in position, brightness and color temperature of the lighting are enough to create a completely different overall impression. This applies of course not only to light but also to shadows, because they are inseparable. Stronger light produces harder, higher-contrast shadows and vice versa. And when multiple light sources are superimposed, the shadows overlap as well. This visual journey through the world of light and darkness never ends.
